That you recommend asking my dr for? I'm realllly itchy and I can't stop itching. I think I might be alergic to the nausea meds or the glue they put on my incissions they itching got more itchy since two days ago and the itchies are only near my incissions and I have 5. The itchy-est ones are my chest, my two incissions on the right, the other two are fine. The itching is too hard not to. Anybody else have the itching problem? What did you use to relieve the itching?

Thanks by the way

My doctor told me to use a small amount of Witch Hazel. Put some on a cotton ball and dab it on a couple of times a day. It worked for me.

ooh wouldn't it burn? It'll try it

Erin, hydrocortisone cream will help as well. Some tubes actually say "anti itch" on them but any will work.

ok I really need something cause I'm itching like a maniac sometimes (: thanks

I'm itchy, too. Not crazy itchy, but my boss even asked about it because I was scratching all over my stomach, lmao (she knows about the band).

haha

mine itch really bad, im gonna wait til i see my dr so he can tell me what i can use to make sure

I am using cold packs and they are very useful. My nurse told me to careful of the creams because they can get in the incisions. She said benadryl wouldn't hurt either.

Hydrocortisone can affect wound healing; I would avoid it unless my doctor okayed it.

OTC oral Benadryl or its generic equivalent is the route I'd take.

theyre not itchy anymore thank god lol

what i did was used a heating pad or a ice pack, which i thought helped, i didnt put any creams or ointments on them, i tried avoiding to itch it but sometimes i just had to, i think they went away by the end of september (:
